Argentinian Gay Couple Jump To Their Death
Quote:
A gay couple, who had had a heated argument, shattering the department after injuring a member of the surveillance ended their lives by jumping from floor 22 at 19.30 on Saturday.
After a fight with his partner, Cristian Gianfrandolfi (22) and Alan Ojeda (22) threw themselves together while holding each others' hands from about 60 meters height.
Witnesses at first thought it was a car crash - "It was a loud noise," they said, but then they discovered that the two bodies were lying on the floor.
The bodies hit the grass first and then rebounding they collapsed on the sidewalk inside the building. Another version is that they fell with a gap of thirty seconds. But for now everything is under investigation.
Minutes before their deaths, a neighbor had called the building's security because he was concerned for the noises that were coming from the department 22. An effective security, Edgardo Gabriel Pallares, 40, came to the place, rang the doorbell and when he opened the door, one of the young boys hit his head with an iron. He injured his left eyebrow and when the police arrived they rushed him to hospital. According to witness accounts and police sources, "the place was wrecked." In that department Cristian used to live with her grandmother and Alan.
As part of the investigation, the result of both autopsies are expected to see, among other things, if both used drugs.
Cristian, along with a group of friends, was about to launch a self-help book called The Mariluence. The presentation was scheduled for August 1 this year "in a room of Palermo". According to the site http://elmariluence.blogspot.com, the book would serve to "find the answer to those questions that you have made yourself a few times in your life and that have not find an answer. "
Cristian's mother was killed eight years ago. She was Claudia Lagarejos, a woman who use to run her parents' business. On Thursday night of September 25, 2003 she was murdered next to her car in a parking lot four blocks from the Obelisk. Carlos Loforte, Cristian's stepfather, is a deputy. Although he was not the biological father of the boy, Cristian used his surname.

I translated the article above myself so sorry for the mistakes you may find.
Tom Thomson
Quote:
Canadian painter Tom Thomson was last seen setting out on a fishing trip in a canoe on July 8, 1917. When his body was found floating in Canoe Lake eight days later, the circumstances behind the young artist’s demise became one of Canada’s most infamous mysteries.
There were two unusual aspects of the body that led many to believe he hadn’t simply fallen overboard: A piece of fishing line was wrapped 16 times around Thomson’s left ankle, and there was a wound on his temple. Some investigators agree with the accidental drowning theory, but if it was an accident, what caused it? It’s possible that Thomson’s canoe simply hit a piece of floating debris from a nearby logging operation. Some have even suggested the unlikely—but technically possible—scenario that he was hit by a sudden tornado.
Others have suggested that Thomson received a blow to the head, possibly from a paddle. There’s also the possibility of suicide—that Thomson purposely drowned himself, using the fishing line to tie a weight around his ankle.
The murder theories are even more numerous. Among the proposed suspects are American draft dodgers hoping to stay anonymous and poachers going to desperate lengths to hide their activities. Perhaps enemy spies or saboteurs were hiding in the woods, planning to attack the nearby train tracks used to transport goods bound for the war effort in Europe. None of them would have wanted Thomson to report spotting them.

The Missing Body Of Frederick McDonald
Quote:
On April 15, 1926, former Australian MP Frederick McDonald disappeared and was never seen again. His body was never found, but a suicide note was. No one was ever questioned about or charged with the disappearance, but one person frequently receives the finger of suspicion—Thomas John Ley.
Ley became a member of Australia’s federal parliament in 1925, and his ambition was matched only by his reputation as an awful person. Shortly after he gained his federal seat, he was investigated for bribery, having apparently offered McDonald £2,000 to back out of the next election. Then, before the hearing, McDonald apparently decided to kill himself.
Another of Ley’s enemies, Hyman Goldstein, “committed suicide” by throwing himself off a cliff in 1928. Goldstein was another MP who had been tricked into investing in a scam company set up by Ley. Goldstein set up a committee to investigate his fellow politician, but before the investigation could take place, Goldstein’s body was being dragged out of the sea by a fishing trawler.
Ley’s willingness to murder was proven in 1946, by which point he had moved to England. He’d become convinced that his mistress was having an affair with a young barman named John Mudie, so he had Mudie strangled and dumped in a chalk pit. Ley was convicted and died of a stroke after one year in a hospital for the criminally insane. It’s likely that he took the secret of McDonald’s fate with him.

The Blazing Car Murder
Quote:
In 1930, Alfred Rouse attempted to fake his own death by bludgeoning a man over the head with a mallet and burning the body in his car. He was spotted fleeing the scene and was eventually hanged for the crime. However, the identity of his victim was unknown.
For a long time, it was thought that the victim may have been William Thomas Briggs. Briggs had gone missing on his way to a doctor’s appointment around the time the murder took place. He was similar in appearance to Rouse and would have made an ideal victim for the hoax.
At the start of 2014, members of Briggs’s family arranged to have DNA tests done to finally put the mystery to rest. But when the results came back, the DNA didn’t match, opening up two separate mysteries. Who was the man murdered by Rouse, and what actually happened to Briggs? While the latter question will probably never be answered, DNA technology may eventually lead to the identification of the murder victim.

This story seems overly dramatic to me, as I read that there were conflicting witnesses saying they jumped together, and another saying 30 seconds apart (that's a long time!). And why does his blog say 2011? http://elmariluence.blogspot.co.uk
asjk; not you adding more. I thought this was a news article.

It's because it happened in 2011 and the article is from that year.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident
Quote:
The Dyatlov Pass incident generally refers to the mysterious deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural mountains on the night of February 2, 1959. The incident happened on the east shoulder of the mountain Kholat Syakhl (Холат-Сяхыл, a Mansi name, meaning Dead Mountain). The mountain pass where the incident occurred has since been named Dyatlov Pass (Перевал Дятлова) after the group's leader, Igor Dyatlov (Игорь Дятлов).
The lack of eyewitnesses has inspired much speculation. Soviet investigators simply determined that "a compelling natural force" had caused the deaths.[1] Access to the area was barred for skiers and other adventurers for three years after the incident.[2] The chronology of the incident remains unclear because of the lack of survivors.[1][3]
Investigators at the time determined that the hikers tore open their tent from within, departing barefoot into heavy snow and a temperature of −30 °C (−22 °F). Although the corpses showed no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs,[2] and one was missing parts of her face[a] due to postmortem decay.
